spirits are being exercised. Some people fail in this ambition, giving into their emotions. Hatred is felt and
expressed by those individuals who don't exercise their spirits to elevate their standings. Jealousy needs to
be exercised because if it's left idle, it will continue degrading it's level where it stands. Sexual harassment
is a spiritual exercise, because our strengths to restrain ourselves from this action are being exercised.
Arguments are spiritual exercises because each person is vigorously fighting to get their points across.
Whether we know it or not, our spirits are exercising to be like Jesus Christ, (who is the image of God).
We are kind to people because we are exercising our spirits. We run to win the race of developing
Christ's spirit within us. The biggest muscle we have is our hearts, and we must exercise that daily.
When some people love other people, they're exercising their spirits. When some people hate
other people, they're exercising their hearts. All around the world, there are many different exercises
we experience everyday. When some people go to church, they've exercised their spirits. But what
changes does that bring? Some people go to school, but is intelligence gained? Exercises are good
for the physical, but there's one thing that desperately needs exercising that will benefit us all, it's our spirits.
In the end of life, we will be judged by God Almighty on how much we've grown our spirits.
Galations 5:15-26
If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other. Watch out or you
will be destroyed by each other. So I say, "Walk by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the
flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the spirit, and the spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They
are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the spirit,
you are not under the law. The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery,
idolatry and witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy,
drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the
kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ
Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step
with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
